ae CHANGE THE " WORLD! By EDWIN ROLFE ¥ ANGSTON HUGHES possesses a very rare talent—the \ ability to create living and altogether understandable characters and situations in every subject his pen touches. He has done this for many years and in many forms. First in his two volumes of poetry, “The Weary Blues” and “Fine Clothes to the Jew.” Then in his novel “Not Without Laughter.” Very frequently in his vigorous reportage—readers of the Daily Worker will recaY%. his “Moscow and Me,” published on this page more than six months ago. And now in his new book of short stories, “The Ways of White Folks” (Alfred A. Knopf. $2.50). Unlike a host of other poets, novelists, writers of all kinds, Hughes is not afraid of sentiment or emotion. And their presence in his writ- ings, even in his most subtle and restrained stories, his most delicate sketches, gives them the real qualities, the authenticity of life, so that the reading of his work is not merely an interesting exercise but an absorbing experience. ‘The fourteen stories in “The Ways of White Folks” are, as the title indisates, concerned with the feelings and doings of Negroes in relation to white people. The struggles of his own people ‘concern Langston Hughes most in these stories, but it is the white people with whom they come in contact and among whom they live which in the majority of cases circumscribes and affects their lives. And, even though he portrays individuals for the greater part, in many of his stories these individual figures epitomize and symbolize the actions, plight, direction, of great masses of people. The Struggles of the Toiling Negroes 'GHES very naturally writes of the Negro artists and intellectuals whom he knows so well, living in a land where the white bour- geoisie controls and directs all means of artistic and intellectual ex- pression. And he writes of the white intellectuals as well—or of those white people of considerable wealth or weltschmerz who attempt to make up for their lack of talent and intellect by acting as sponsors and patrons and sycophants of the arts. But he sis also deeply concerned, in his stories as in his life, with the struggles of the great masses of toiling Negroes, particularly the sharecroppers and tenant farmers of the South upon whose shoulders the southern ruling class has built its backward and semi-feudal agri- cultural system—the entire southern economy which depends for its continued existence upon the oppression of the Negro people. Not a few of his stories are about such Negroes on large southern planta- tions, living side by side with the white landlords, subservient to them. And it is in the masterly depiction of the relations of these people, their struggles, aspirations, tragedies, that some of his best stories are built. “Father and Son” 'UCH a story is “Father and Son,” the very last in the book, which ends with the self-inflicted death of Bert Lewis, son of Colonel Norwood, a white plantation owner, and Coralee Lewis, his Negro housekeeper. Bert is Colonel Norwood’s youngest and most handsome son, strongly resembling and just a shade darker of skin than his father. He is a boy who is sick of “white folks’ niggers,” sick of his people's oppression. Upon his return to the Norwood plantation he refuses to submit to the degradation, the slave behavior which is forced upon the Negro in the South. After the death of Colonel Norwood, he attempts to escape to the swamp but is driven back into the Norwood residence, where he shoots his white attackers and would-be lynchers with his white father’s gun until but one bullet remains, His mother aids him: “No time to hide, Ma,’ Bert panted. ‘They're at the door now. They'll be coming in the back way, too. They'll be coming in every- where. I got one bullet left, Ma. It’s mine.’ “Yes, son, it's your'n. Go upstairs in mama’s room and lay down on ma bed and rest, I won’t let ’em come up till you’re gone. God bless you, chile.’ “Quickly they embraced, A moment his head rested on her shoulder.” Then the white men came: “Keep still, men,’ one of the leaders said. ‘He’s armed... . Say where's that yellow bastard of yours, Cora—upstairs?’ * “ "Yes,’.Cora said, ‘Wait.’ “ ‘Wait, hell!’ the men cried. ‘Come on, boys, let’s go!’ “A shot rang out upstairs, then Cora knew it was all right. “Go on,’ she said, stepping aside for the mob.” Rent ae Pera Knows Workers’ Plight Under Capitalism IT IS impossible to indicate in a brief discussion the consummate restraint and artistry with which Langston Hughes brings his Ne- groes and white folks to life. Or to give more than a suggestion of the depth and power of his stories. Of “Cora Unashamed” or of “Home,” in which a young Negro violinist, returning to his southern home town after being “away seven or eight years,” is lynched by white hoodlums for shaking the hand of a white woman, a friend, on the street. Or to give the full satiric flavor of “Rejuvenation Through Joy” or the quiet pathos of “Little Dog.” The last-named story, by the way, shows clearly that Langston Hughes is not trying to categorize “white folks” as a race of oppress- ors, He differentiates between the white worker, the white sufferer un- der capitalism, and the white boss and landlord, just as he distinguishes between black toilers and the black bourgeoisie. This story, permeated by a tender and understanding sympathy for this tragic, middle-aged spinster-heroine, reveals Hughes’ approach as essentially a class- g@pproach, not a racial one. What makes all fourteen stories so intensely alive and authentic, I sabmit, is the author's intimate knowledge not only of the members of his own race and the white people, but of their plight in capitalist America, in Whica their position as an oppressed national minority has its roots im thetr economic position and the attempt of the white ruling class to perpetuate this state in order to safeguard its own wealth, its own social and economic and political domination. This means ter- Tor, social subjugation, lynching for the Negro toilers, as well as simi- lar degradation for the white workers. “The Ways of White Folks” is the book of an extraordinarily gifted _ writer, and the working #%ess movement in the United States may well be proud of the fact that Langston Hughes is “one of our own.” STAGE AND SCREEN Kolkhoz Workers Relaxing From Their Field Work Scene from “In the Land of the Soviets,” which gives _a graphic picture of life on the collective farms, now in _its third week at the Acme Theatre, Noted Negro Author | LANGSTON HUGHES FLASHES and CLOSE-UPS By LENS HAVE been studying the problem of filming the puppet. Here is a medium which in itself is adaptable to the most devastat- ing social and political satire. Un- fortunately, the only example of this art which we have seen used in America for the purposes of revolutionary satire has been the work of Maud and Cotler, the so- called “Modicots.” These have been in Yiddish with the additional limi- |tation of a very meager repertory having the more obviously daffy as- pects of religious ritual as its tar- gets. But despite the obviously cir- cumscribed efforts of this duet, any- one who has seen their “actors” perform will agree that here is a “front” that has been sadly ne- glected in our cultural movement. There is not an illusion that these little plastic-wooden dolls cannot shatter with a few words and a twist of the head. There is not a mouldy convention they cannot make appear in all its fraudulence. There is not a bourgeois idea— whether it emanates from the Brain Trust or the Daily News—which they cannot in a flash reduce to its essentially absurd skeleton. In brief, the puppet contains all the necessary elements that can make of it a broad and popular medium of political satire. It is by no means a simple wea- pon to use, as may be imagined by many who haye watched these lit- tle “people” shift and dance around on a miniature stage. The highest skill of the caricaturist, the painter, the writer and the mimic play a part in the production of a really effective puppet show. Comrade Louis Bunin, one of America’s most talented technicians and artists of both the puppet and marionnete, is in every sense of the word a cre- ator fully as equipped in his own field as some of our important revo- lutionary artists in the fields of the literary, graphic and plastic arts. ‘We emphasize this fact because the attitude that puppets are a minor branch of our revolutionary cul- tural work requiring no concen- trated study and application is ut- terly false. I, at any rate, am con- vinced that here is an untapped mine that must be tackled in all seriousness. By next fall New York will wit- ness the inauguration of the first revolutionary stationary puppet and marionnette theatre in America un- der the direction of Joseph Cotler and Louis Bunin. Watch the ascendancy of a bright new star in the firmament of our revolutionary cultural movement. es aay I STARTED by saying that I have been looking into the possibilities of making films with puppets. The vuppet’s basic weakness is its small size. This size is a condition made necessary by the fact that the human hand is its hover. In the marionnette, attempts have been made to increase the size to as much as five feet in height (Pic- colli). With puppets the problem is almost insuperable and can only be solved by the intervention of an- other medium. And what can that medium be but. the movie which can turn ants into gigantic mon- sters and three-inch models into skyscraping structures? (The cine- ma is the great magician which can toy with time, space, etc.) Also through the film elements can be introduced into the puppet show which will broaden its scope a thousandfold. There are obstacles to be over- come, too, of course. A close-up of a puppet’s head will have to be ac- companied by a proportionate in- crease in volume of the sound it utters, for instance. Color, which plays such an im- portant part in puppetry, will have to find its equivalent values in photographic monotone. But when these difficulties are overcome, and in theory they have already been overcome, I'm confi- dent that this proposed wedding of the film and the puppet will have been proven a success and a val- uable addition to the arsenal of fighting revolutionary culture.

By AN ESCAPED PRISONER Author's Introduction 1 ies world has seen many scan- dals, great public scandals, such as the Dreyfuss affair, the murder of Jean Jaures, the legal murder of Sacco and Vanzetti, the Reichs- tag fire trial, all of which are the | expression of certain epochs and of But in the spring of 1933 agery surpasses anything that the modern era has witnessed. We refer to the persecution of the helpless | political prisoners by the fascist |German government in concentration camps, barracks and police stations. For months and |months men and women have been | subjected to mental and physical torture that may be compared to a slow vivisection. | Germany was once called ihe | fatherland of poets, scientists and scholars. The country where | Goethe, Schiller, Wagner and Bee- | thoven lived and created, where sci- entific progress was admired and | imitated by the scholars and scien- tists of the rest of the world, has become the country of whips and gallows, where an infernal physical and psychological terror reigns, where racial chauvinism is ram- pant, where Jews are persecuted and exiled, where every enemy of Hitler is menaced by death at the hands of the Nazis. The greatest inventors and scien- tists, some recipients of the Nobel prize, are driven out, The statue of Heinrich Heine, the author of the most beautiful German folk-songs, is demolished because Heinrich Heine was a Jew. The tombs of Ferdinand Lassalle and Kurt Eisner are razed by com- mand of Hitler and Goebbels, who have even glorified the memory of the murderers of Walter Rathenau. Mr. Goebbels, who once invited the world to an “Olympiad of the Mind,” burns in huge bonfires the greatest masterpieces of German literary and scientific works. Nazi students collaborate with him in the destruction of everything not con- tainable within the barbaric pro- gram of the “Brown Cossacks.” Brigands, adventurers, fiends, perverts of all kinds—these are the rulers of Germany of to- day. Men of the calibre of the Lieutenants Schultz and Heines | certain social and political condi- | | tions, | there began a scandal whose sav-| | | prisons, | dope-| | [Since slain by Hitler's order Ed. Note.] traitors of their own class }and murderers of their own com-/} |rades, now have important govern- | | mental positions as Chiefs of Police | and as high state functionaries, It | |is no wonder that a Germany ruled by adventurers, incendiaries and chauvinistic militarists, has thrown | into prisons and _ concentration | camps more than 150,000 men and} women who are against the fascist | regime. ee eae | UR fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters, flesh of our flesh, blood | of our blood, have been driven like wild beasts into captivity. They have been herded into countless} |prisons because they struggled | against war and fascism, because | ideologically or racially they did not | conform to the mold of the Nazis. | Workers, doctors, lawy writers, | Jews, pacifists, Communists ists, even Protestant mir Catholic priests, anti-fascists of any tendency—all those who refuse to be Teachers’ Training Course at N. Y. Workers School A VERY important and urgent task in the expansion work of the Workers’ School is to increase the number of instructors. It is be- coming more and more difficult to answer the many demands for in- structors in the theory of Marxism- Leninism. The School Committee, therefore, decided to establish a training course for new instructors. The course will begin in the fall and will continue during the entire school year of 1934-1935. No fee will be charged for this course and it will be limited to 25 or 30 stu- dents. The course is open to Party and League members. Applicants must be members in good standing for a minimum of one year; they must produce evidence of their activities from units or section bureaus. The School Committee will pass on the eligibility of each applicant after he or she has been interviewed by the director of the school. It is especially desirable that sec- tion committees recommend com- rades who have shown readiness in carrying out the tasks assigned to them and who show abilittes and inclination in the work of agitation and propaganda. Applicants must send in their applications in writing as soon as possible, Each applicant should attach a brief biography of himself or herself. r . * Circuit School and Bookstore at Pittsburgh 'ORKERS organizations through- out the country will have the opportunity of sending greetings, to the steel and coal workers in the important Pittsburgh Concentration District and aid them in establish- ing their circuit school, library and bookstore. Following the lead of the New York District of the Com- munist Party, organizations may in- scribe their names and greetings upon the flyleaf of books, and send them to the permanent library in Pittsburgh, a memorial to their solidarity. The School and Library Committee is located in Room 209, 929 Fifth Ave., Pittsburgh, Pa. Already a successful campaign for the establishment of school and li- brary is in progress. Over 6,000 pennies were collected from coal miners and steel workers, many of whom are not working more than a day or two a week. Outside sup- port is badly needed. Which will be the first organiza- tion, the first school, the first dis- trict to follow the lead of the New York Communist Party, to help bring theoretical training to this basic district? ais metas Summer School at Cleveland 'HE Summer Term of the Cleve- land Workers School has already begun. There are classes in History and Science, Dramatics and Illus- trating and Drawing for children of Pioneer age. The children who attended yesterday’s classes were enthusiastic. the Pioneer. movement in Cleveland was its lack of organized training of the children. Steps have been taken to make these experimental courses a permanent feature of the Workers School here. Registration will be closed at the end of next week, so the Pioneer Leaders stfould get busy at once 1 Schools o One of the main shortcomings of | f the U.S. and see to it that their groups at- tend. Evening classes for adults in Principles of Communism, Eco- nomics, History of the Russian Revolution, English, ete. are also | | going on. “ ‘ Summer Classes for | Children at Harlem School EVERAL members of ‘the John Reed Club, have volunteered to teach classes in drawing, dance, sculpture, poster designing, etc., to the children of Harlem. These classes will be held at the Harlem Workers School at 200 W. 135th St., during the months of July and August. The Summer Lecture courses in Proletarian Drama and Negro History in the Harlem Workers School begins this week. Students wishing to take these courses | must register early. "8 | Report on the School | Expansion Conference jat Chicago | THE Chicago Workers School called a conference for the purpose of expanding the work of the school. The main report made by Comrade Shields, dealt with the following: 1—Analysis of 1% years’ work of the Workers’ School. 2—The improved conditions of the School. 3—The struggle conducted against the Trotzkyites. 4—The economic and political sit- uation demands mass training. The relation of the school to the mass organizations is not entirely satisfactory. Mass organizations as yet do not consider the Chicago Workers School as their training School for leadership. The best re- sults so far attained was with the I.W.O., although they were by no means satisfactory. The report dealt with the present economic and political situation, the increasing wave of strike struggles, the role of the A. F. of L. and S. P. and the |need for a mass training of revolu- tionary leaders. | There were proposals of the Ex- | ecutive for School Expansion in the direction of shops and factories, launching of a thousand dollar campaign, and mobilization of all/ mass organizations around the school. The following decisions were made which include amendments to the original proposals by the Exec- utive to the Conference: 1—To continue and strengthen the steel schools in Gary and South Chicago. 2—A branch school to be estab- lished on the North West Side at 3911 W. Chicago Ave,, with special attention to railroad workers, 8—To establish a South Side Schcol with snecial attention to Negro workers and stockyards workers. 4—Central School to be moved to the Loop or near North Side. Spe- cial attention to developing more advanced subjects and teachers’ courses. 5—To launch an Expansion Fund of $1,500 which will be conducted in connection with the campaign for the $10,000 fund for the National Training Schools. 6—To urge all mass organizations to adopt the Chicago Workers School as their training school for forces and each organization to elect a comrade responsible for the conduct of the school campaign. | nothing compared to the invention |rades, it is because I dread the| jing from this place, which in Ger- | What's Doing is the Workers The Sonnenburg Torture eee I | | standardized by the swastika—are | the victims of the Nazis Vera Figner wrote a book, Mem- | oirs of a Revolutionist, in which she | describes the diabolic tortures prac- | ticed in prisons of the old Tsarist | regime.

If in my account of the tortures of the Sonnenburg prison, I mention but few of the names of my com- cruelties that the inmates would undergo as a consequence of my revelations. * * * The Plague at Sonnenburg WAS one of the hundreds of thousands of prisoners in cap- tivity under the rule of Hitler. For seven months I wore a prisoner's uniform in the concentration camp of Sonnenburg (Neumark). Here, behind thick double walls, about | one thousand political prisoners are | incarcerated. It was by a lucky chance that I succeeded in escap- many has earned the gruesome title | of the “torture-hell of Sonnenburg.” | I swear upon my conscience that my descriptions are true to the last detail, that nothing is exaggerated. The memories I have carried away from there could not be enhanced even by the wildest flights of the| imagination. It is a torture for me now to think what my brothers and comrades are enduring. But when I left them, I solemnly promised that the whole world would hear their cry of agony. Sonnenburg was once a peni- tentiary exclusively reserved for murderers sentenced to death or for life terms. In the last decade, dur- ing which the penitentiary was in active service, the total of deaths and suicides there numbered 560. Their graves, nearby, are silent wit- nesses to this great human tragedy. In 1930, the penitentiary was closed because of the frightful sanitary conditions. The official report at the time stated that the poisonous drinking water and the damp walls were a latent cause of epidemics of dysentery and influenza. The government of ‘Hitler chose this building as a prison for politi- cal prisoners: Communists, Social- ists, pacifists, Jews. The water of Sonnenburg is still undrinkable—its use is even forbidden. Imagine this alone, in a camp where a thousand men are kept locked for weeks, for months, for years.
